Staff Reports
People are furious after learning the punishment given to Secret Service agents who failed during the assassination attempt on President Trump. Six agents received suspensions instead of being fired for their massive failures. This slap on the wrist happened almost a year after the horror in Butler, Pennsylvania. The agents let an assassin get close enough to shoot President Trump and kill a hero firefighter.
These agents got suspensions between 10 and 42 days. That’s like a short vacation for failing to protect the president. Americans deserve real consequences when government workers mess up this badly. This weak punishment shows deep problems in the Secret Service.
The attack left President Trump wounded and Corey Comperatore dead. That brave firefighter died shielding his family from bullets. Two other men were badly hurt that terrible day. The Secret Service’s failure cost a good man his life and put our leader in danger.
Reports found big mistakes in communication, planning, and training. Agents couldn’t even use their phones properly at the rally. Worse, the Biden team had earlier denied requests to boost Trump’s security. This bureaucratic failure put politics over protection.
Before the shooting, Trump’s team asked for more security help. The Secret Service said no to those requests. That bad decision left him exposed to a known threat. Americans see this as deliberate neglect by political opponents.
The Secret Service admitted they became “complacent” and “bureaucratic.” Their director quit after the attack. But suspensions aren’t enough. The agency needs a complete overhaul to protect leaders properly.
Just weeks after Butler, another assassin tried to kill President Trump in Florida. Constant threats show why strong security matters. These failures can’t keep happening to our leaders.
Real patriots demand tough accountability. Suspending failed agents is an insult to Corey Comperatore’s memory. President Trump survived by sheer luck, and America must fix this broken system now.
